Deep Fried Drifters :: Eisenholm - Part 11 - Vintage Story 1.19

[@zerefhikar9995]

I genuinely love how you introduce the episodes, and the recap/overview of what happened right before. I'm only about 6 minutes in but I wanted to say how much I enjoy your content.

[@Solstin]

Thank you! It felt a lot more natural for me to recap the prep rather than going over what happened in the previous episode, so I'm glad you like it!

[@nevar108]

I feel the voidwalker mask will be back.... just a feeling. And another fantastic episode! Thank you for taking the time to entertain us.

[@Solstin]

Oh I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the mask :P

[@French_Toast_Avali]

Void walker mask?

[@ainmhidh1154]

Lol the loss of health after the mask toss

Ehehehe :P

[@crone2219]

I love the way you present you videos. Your story telling is very soothing, like sitting down with great book. I vote for the obelisk idea.

[@Solstin]

Aww thank you! I'd like to one day do a mini-series reading the lore books like bedtime stories, so that makes me feel like I'm on the right track. :)

[@KyleRavenborn]

"... prep ourselves for the start of Year1..." that is how I know you did your time in the programmers chair.

[@Solstin]

Haha, that and the first year in-game is also labeled as Year 0, which makes total sense to me

[@StalwartVinland]

Gotta admit I can’t wait to get really old and look back on this series. Keep up the Great videos!

[@Solstin]

Thanks! I look forward to doing the same lol

[@juanpedrorocha9309]

I like the idea of the obelisk

[@Solstin]

That definitely seems to be the favorite design so far :)

[@emberborn3292]

The obelisk does seem like it would fit better with what you're going for with the castle plans and how close that area will be to everything, but a rusty old boiler left over from the Before Times would also be cool. Maybe working in some steampunk elements with other parts of the build would let you still do something like that in a better location, even if they wouldn't have the hot water facilities without a little creative action. I'm looking forward to the mounts and boats with the update, when it happens, too. Some friends and I are always going on adventures to find things to plunder with the Better Ruins mod, and I'll be eagerly seeking out whatever new dungeon or location gets added for the story update. I love the lore in this game.

[@Solstin]

Yeah, if I can't figure out a way to make steampunk elements blend well with the castle and obelisk right there then at least the proper workshop design built into the mountain will lend itself to that! I'm also excited for mounts, can't wait to see what all there'll be, both in vanilla and through mods!

[@supersomethings2276]

I've been slowly watching this over a couple of (busy) days, but it's definitely hitting hard today since I'm hungover lol. Thank you for the great content.

[@thominaduncanson7596]

Solstin scolding rooster for over-crowing : “Do you just see the sun’s pillows and blankets (clouds) and think, ‘Ah, my time has come’ ?” Great boiler room build! Suggestion: Instead of wood plank fences, perhaps iron bars (like those found in certain large, locust-infested ruins) would give you a better view of drifters in the hot water. Also, a lightning rod(s) would be good to protect your chickens from lightning strikes-Kurazarrh lost two different batches of chickens to lightning, and after the first loss he assumed that foxes or wolves had killed the chickens through the single fence line, then turned his chickens area into Fort Knox, but still lost the second batch of chickens. That was when he noticed that each time there had been a nasty thunderstorm with much lightning in his farm area. Kurazarrh had no further losses of chickens after installing the lightning rods. 😁

[@Solstin]

I would have preferred iron fences for sure, but they're not craftable and I haven't gone to the furniture trader to check. I doubt I'd have enough gears to get enough at this point yet. I can always plug up the water flow later on and go in for renovations once we have more rusty gears! As for lightning rods, I'll definitely have to get to making some before populating the chicken coop!

been really enjoying the series :D i think a boiler/water tower that would "provide hot water" to the locals maybe even a steampunk steam distribution center would be a sweet town center building it has been a fun first year cant wait for the many more years till the dream is realized

[@Solstin]

I could definitely see a steam/hot water distribution center type facility being incorporated into the ideas I have for the proper workshop! :D

Really late to this series, but im really enjoying it. Youre making me want to buy the game. Also i was the 500th like :3

Glad you're enjoying the series! I definitely recommend giving Vintage Story a try. Even if you find that you enjoy watching it more than playing it, the return policy is pretty phenominal.

[@resemblelife]

Haha! Seems like the Rotwalker mask may have had an effect on the steam you breathe whilst you're in there 57:17 LOL The boiler room is a thing of great invention! And juicy loot too, what a great way to deal with the storms, genius! One must take care not to become the monsters one fights though. . . heh heh ehhhh EDIT: just realized I'd actually caught up to present day! argh no more videos to binge, but I can vote on the structure, definitely obelisk. Really wish some of these hot springs were cooler (or could be piped into tubs) and could be used as an outdoor steam bath area, that could be a really gorgeous build and a nice counterpoint to the Black Tower of Death

[@Solstin]

Haha yeah, the steam in there might have some corrupting mold to be taken care of! For the steam bath idea, I think the closest we could (safely) do would be to pretend the water is warm, or have it flowing in places so it makes particles to mimic steam!

[@joshuadbybee4906]

Nice makes me happy to watch your videos thank you.

[@Solstin]

Thanks! I'm glad you like them! :)

[@Kurazarrh]

That was a great end to your first year! I like that boiler setup, but I'm gonna vote for obelisk design! ;)

[@Solstin]

The obelisk definitely seems to be the consensus so far! If I can design a statue that I'm happy with, it'll end up being a mix of obelisk and victory column, but either way there'll be a light at the top to act as a beacon from afar.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@Solstin If you make it out of expensive materials and never stop talking about it, you could call it... the SNOBELISK!

@@Kurazarrh XD well I was thinking of using halite for part of the statue so I'm on board with the snobelisk!

[@nine_lives5597]

My Eisenholm First Year Review! The year ending on episode 11 just feels WEIRD! 12 EP for 1 Year ingame just feels right! I used to play minecraft vanilla and graduated to modded Minecraft and when that got too old for me to want to play, I stumbled on a Vintage Story video by a great youtuber (who i am subscribed to) called Private Lime! His videos convinced me to buy the game, and yours have inspired me to actually play seriously. For the first night i was on the edge of my seat! Then along came some incredibly well-crafted videos and a fun experience! Youve had me captivated since the dugout was did done dug-out. All of your techniques really show your experience with the system and your creativity brings a sense of artistry to your builds. Heres to another year! Happy New Year Eisenholm!

[@Solstin]

I agree with 12 episodes feeling like it would have made more sense, but that could also be due to most shows these days having an 8 or 12 episode season! I probably could have split this one into two episodes, one for the boiler room and another for terraforming and pathing, but once I needed more dirt to fill in around the boiler room I kind of just kept going!

[@kittingtonthe3rd456]

Nice and relaxing video to watch as I eat and wind down, thank you Mr. Vintage

[@Solstin]

Glad you liked it and hope you had a good meal!

[@gamingdemon1699]

It would be cool if you made a boiler room obelisk combo. almost as if the obelisk was there first and you attached a boiler room to it for a double purpose

[@Solstin]

After a bunch of suggestions I'm thinking the obelisk might be more 'ancient tech that just looks like magic to us in the current age' with runes carved into it, but having a steam turbine engine nearby as if it's being fed by the water could be a nice mix!

[@ginger0834]

Ah I've been looking forward to the next episode for ages! I'm so happy you decided to keep Ms Cluck around and found her a rooster friend, we need more house chicken representation! You learn to block out the crowing xD Awesome video as always, already looking forward to the next

I'll need to add a more permanent chicken area in the house if Ms Cluck doesn't get relocated to the coop. Having her on the kitchen counter I'm certain can't be sanitary lol

I'd say make the boiler room into an obelisk, would could make a nice landmark, especially if it's tall enough to be seen over most other buildings in the future town

[@Solstin]

There was a suggestion to make it a victory column rather than just an obelisk, so I think I can blend the two ideas. Rather than a rounded column, I may make it a square obelisk but with a statue up at the top akin to a victory column, and have the statue hold a lantern so it's seen from afar even at night!

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Lol "Would look good in a town park" Well then, there goes my idea of an old timey sacrificial obelisk. Yah know since things get sacrificed in the horrible depths of the base of the obelisk. XD

Instead of an Obelisk try a Victory column like the Column of Trajan. You can go into those already.

[@Solstin]

Ooooo, that's a really good suggestion! I just might have to design a statue for up top...

[@RLDragonStrider]

@@Solstin Alternatively, you could build it up into a tower. At the top make a small room and stick a clock on the outside. You could say historically that when Eisenholm was first settled in the days of earthworks and pallisades that tower was the first stone structure built. As a lookout and later as the home of a minor lord before it just stood there in the middle of town and got repurposed as a clock tower. Alot of European cities do that with old towers. If you do decide to go for a sewer, Cloaka Maxima in Rome is a good place to look for inspiration. Sorry for the wall of text.

[@Solstin]

@@RLDragonStrider If the statue designing doesn't go to plan, a clock tower may end up being the next best thing! For the sewers, thats very close to the idea. Fully walkable rounded tunnels, perfect for fighting giant rats 🐀

Well if we get really technical with the game mechanics, ice functions identically to glass once it's been chiseled, and what is glass but the melted silicates from sand, which is effectively fine rock granules! So in a VERY roudabout way, ice is technically a form of rock? At least in Vintage Story lol

That's definitely the tradeoff when playing with friends. When I played on a server I almost never saw summer since it was back to winter nearly every time I logged on.

I had to set that to B because I kept fat fingering Z instead of X to swap tongs to my hand to put away... there's really no need to have such a quick on the fly access key to change bulk settings, B is further and B-ulk so duh... xD Also there's a mod called Tree Tapping that adds a copper sprew and when crafted with a bucket makes a tapping kit. The tapping kit can be attached to a resin scar on a tree and it collects resin over time and a slightly increased rate. Instead of 1 every 8 day you get 6 every 2-3 days or so, it makes a big difference and takes the struggle of resin out if the equation for mechanical materials. The slow and low rate of resin I feel is a bit cruel considering we can't "scar a tree" to produce resin, so this mod kinda makes sense from an IRL standpoint. A tapped tree produces more resin than a scarred tree unless its a massive and possibly fatal scar and well we can't scar trees we grow. That being said I feel the tree tap is an OK vanilla esk mod (cuz vanilla is kind of about irl processes of survival)

🤔 could you combine the two ideas? Maybe there's an ancient obelisk that was put there by some long dead civilization.
